Greetings all... Does anyone have the words to the song by Neil Young (I think) that I believe is titled "Heart Of Gold"... It begins (if memory serves me) : "I wanna live, I wanna give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold... It's these expressions I have to give, that keeps me lookin' for a heart of gold... and I'm gettin' old..." Thank you.... Barb

Em C D G I want to live, I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold It's these expressions I never give Em G That keep me searchin for a heart of gold C (C)(B)(A) G And I'm gettin old Keeps me searchin for a heart of gold And I'm gettin old

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line That keeps me searching for a heart of gold And I'm getting old Keeps me searchin for a heart of gold And I'm gettin old *Solo*

Em D Em Keep me searchin for a heart of gold You keep me searchin and I'm growin old Keep me searchin for a heart of gold Em G C~ I've been a miner for a heart of gold...

Ed, I put <pre> tags on your lyrics to separate the chords, but it still doesn't look quite right. Hope it's at least better than it was.

Since Mudcat is a prime supporter of the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed, it seems only appropriate that Neil Young lyrics be posted here upon request. I note that there is not one single Neil Young song in the Digital Tradition, and perhaps that's the way it should be.

I get a lot of pleasure out of answering lyrics requests, even when the lyrics are relatively easy to find. It has given me the chance to acquaint myself with a number of songs I didn't know as well as I thought I did. I don't know why some people aren't able to search a little better than they do, but they aren't. Most people I know seem totally lost when it comes to researching things. I'm good at it, and I like to be able to do it for them - but I do find it hard to understand why it's so difficult for them. It just is.

Why friends, I'll have you know that it's the royalties and money from this very song that allowed Neil to help fund the wonderful institution that bears his name, the Neil Young Center for the Terminally Screwed. I thought it was wonderful that Dr. Smegma was able to pump neil full of enough stuff to allow him to perform the other night on the WTC Telethon. Those of you watching at the end probably noticed that the drugs were wearing off as Neil was tromping around the stage and seemingly having an orgasm with his Martin. This is highly unusual as Neil generally reserves such things for his Les Paul and hence is indicative of just how far over the edge he has gone.
